GHSA-6mx3-3vqg-hpp2
Django allows unprivileged users to read the password hashes of arbitrary accounts
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
An issue was discovered in Django 2.1 before 2.1.2, in which unprivileged users can read the password hashes of arbitrary accounts. The read-only password widget used by the Django Admin to display an obfuscated password hash was bypassed if a user has only the "view" permission (new in Django 2.1), resulting in display of the entire password hash to those users. This may result in a vulnerability for sites with legacy user accounts using insecure hashes.
